Do you ever have one of those days where you just know you should’ve stayed home?! Yesterday was one of those days, but, it all ended on a great note!
I woke up, had my pre-workout banana, got ready and for once had time to spare when heading to the train station. Usually I am rushing all over and dreading missing it. I am not really sure why because it’s not the end of the world if I do…I simply catch the next one.
Only today the train was LATE!
No worries…..except by the time I got to the gym to workout all the treadmills were taken. I tried the elliptical for 2 minutes before I decided I’d just come back later.
My 33 minute jog/walk was tough mentally and physically but I “putt-putted” through it!
After my run, the showers were full and I missed a webinar I wanted to attend….Not a huge thing because it was voluntary but….
THE BIGGEST ISSUE
For SOME REASON Google has decided I shouldn’t be able to email ANYONE for 24 hours……
Somehow Google thinks I sent 500 emails which I am pretty sure even if I tried, I couldn’t…but, even after looking at my sent folder, there is nothing 
I promise I am not ignoring your emails or texts since my phone has also decided texting wasn’t a good thing at all.
Some days…as much as I am a geek about technology, it’s not on my side.
I think the good thing is I can smile/laugh at it all…..Peanut Butter always makes things better (7 points+)
Especially when paired with my favorite fruit of the season!
Since yesterday was a “day” I decided to head out to take up my co-workers lunch invite. I was actually really proud of myself because I stuck to my healthy theme with only ONE taco and a BIG Organic Salad when I really wanted to dive into chips, salsa & guacamole!
“Taco de Pollo– crispy taco filled with shredded organic chicken, cheese, cucumber-tomato salsa and cilantro.”
I think next time I am ordering a BIG CONTAINER of their spicy pickled veggies too…I “might” eat them over chips…maybe…you never know…..
“Ensalada de Primavera– mixed greens, shredded cabbage, carrots, red onion and avocado tossed in a lemon vinaigrette, sprinkled with toasted pumpkin seeds.”
Deliciousness! I estimated 5 points+ for my taco and 6 points+ for my salad.
All “washed” down with Agua De Mineral…Mingeragua seems harder to say lol.
Train snacks! I actually LOVED that I had the entire train cart to myself to rock out, blog and eating delicious fruit…..
Plus Weight Watchers Cinnamon Pop Chips (2 points+). I NEED to buy more of these.
As soon as I walked in the door we headed out to pick up our nephews. We let them pick where they wanted to eat and they picked Fresh Choice ~ I LOVE that!
I made another HUGE Salad (the brown things are roasted carrots – they were weird).
Sesame KALE Salad!
Regular salad with everything crunchy, sweet and chewy I could find 
Even though it was a million degrees outside, I couldn’t resist trying their Fresh Corn Chowdah. It was delicious…..
Dessert!
We let them pick a movie, bowling or Put Put Golf. They picked golf!
Doesn’t’ the coarse look like a fancy neighborhood?
The Husband had fun “teasing” them pretending his ball got stuck but really making sure he got the “hole in one”.
By the time we got home, I wasn’t ready to find out if blogging would work or not so I took the night off….it’s summer after all

Q’s
Do you call it Mini Golf, Miniature Golf or Putt Putt Golf?
I have ALWAYS called it Putt Putt Goif because that’s what do walk around doing…
Catch you all later!
That taco you had for lunch looks yummy!
That putt putt course looks pretty cool. I love the different houses. All the courses I have seen have the basic things like the windmill, a clown and other silly things, but I am really digging those houses!
Good for you for sticking to your workout though! Hope today goes better for you!
That mini golf course looks awesome! I tried to mini golf just last week at the only “course” in town. Well it turned out to be 8 holes behind a bowling alley that had no obstacles or anything. The ground wasn’t even level! So I am slightly jealous of your super sweet course! ~.^
Btw, impressive array of colorful food intake!
how fun with the golf! we call it putt putt…IDK is it s a midwest thing like pop for soda?? I remember reading putt putt actually gives you activity points…lol
sorry about the technology mix up. I have been having some issues for some time now posting pics on blogger!
oh…I’m running a Fiber one giveaway on my blog if your interested in checking it out! http://mykitchenadventures1.blogspot.com/2011/07/great-product-find-fiber-one-honey.html
I call it mini golf but we have not played in years! It was date # 2 for Sean & I 🙂 hehe
Damn google! :-/
Mmmmtacoooos! Lol
Danica, where do you find Weight Watchers Cinnamon Pop Chips? Would you mind posting a picture of the bag, or exact name of the product? These look so good, but I can’t find them in any local grocery stores, and couldn’t find them on amazon.com.
Thanks!

Lynn- those cinnamon sna ms are available @ Weight Watcher meeting sites. Probably online too.
We call it Putt-putt golf in the deep south too.
Hi Danica, looks like a great day yesterday!!!! I’d have picked “putt putt” over bowling or a movie on a nice night like last night too!!! Have a great day!
Hi Lynn,
I pick up the Cinnamon Chips at my local Weight Watchers meeting. Anyone can buy them. Go to http://www.weightwatchers.com and click on find a meeting to find a location near you. They are usually open 30 minutes before/after each meeting plus during open hours.
Here is a picture of my bag. When I buy a new box I will post it.

I am not sure if you can buy them online….might be more. I think they are either $3.50 or $4.50 a box at the meeting and there are 5 or 6 packs in a box.
IMO ~ totally worth it and I don’t say that too often for WW packaged products!
Danica
Glad to know I’m not the only one who had a “day” yesterday! I locked my keys in the car, my husband’s car battery died, I had to go to the store THREE times….there’s more, but let’s just say I know how you feel! I’m making up for it today by taking myself to Whole Foods for lunch. Yes! xoxo
We call it putt putt golf too where I am from in the south. I read somewhere that Aldi’s has cinnamon chips similar to those and they are 1.99 a box, same taste and same points, Aldi’s Fit and Active .
That looks like a great mini golf course! I’ve never called it putt-putt, I trade off between calling it miniature golf and mini golf. I haven’t played in a while…you’re inspiring me to go try it again soon!
Peanut butter does make everything better and chocolate too! Looks like a good time playing golf!
UGH that salad looks scrumptious and is making me hungry. I do have a question for you – I don’t have trader joe’s and everytime I see a post of your famous Spicy Asian Peanut Slaw I get a little disappointed. Do you know of any other comparable spicy asian peanut dressing I can buy? Like something similar that I could find at someplace like Walmart or somewhere. I do have a Roots Market here maybe I can stop by and see if they have anything similar. Just wondering. BECAUSE IT LOOKS YUMMY.
You had me at pickled vegetables – I may have to recreate those at home! Glad the day ended up on a good note! 😀
HI MzSlyde,
Lite House makes a similar peanut dressing in the fridge section that is pretty tasty and has even better stats – you get 2 Tbsp for 1 points+. It is carried in most grocery stores. I’ve never checked to see if Walmart carries it but you would find it in the produce section I would imagine.
Danica
Definitely mini golf!
We call it mini golf or goofy golf. We do it every year for a company picnic at a small amusement park here in town. Fun with all the kids involved.
Love seeing all the yummy food you eat. I wish I could find yummy places like that here in town. I might have to come visit you for a week or so! 🙂
